Let me set the stage here. I was on a fairly intense backpacking trip that involved some large mammal research. It was extremely rough terrain, no trails, complete backcountry. It was important that we maintained visibility with each other as it was important that we stayed together, for safety and the efficiency of the trip. My hardshell and down jacket were both black, so I donned this piece because it was bright orange and would make me easier to see. I was EXTREMELY reluctant because I had just bought it, and let's be honest, it's not exactly designed for hardcore backcountry bushwhacking. We walked (crawled) through alder thickets, cedar swamps, and every tangled/thorned brush around. This thing was bulletproof. While I don't recommend this type of activity for this jacket, the fact that it survived the entire trip without a scratch was unbelievable. Buy with confidence, if it is going to survive my trip, it will last forever as a light windbreaker/running piece. Awesome.

This is a pretty fantastic looking jacket. Not as cool as the non-hooded version, which has a great motorbike jacket vibe, but a good looking jacket none the less. I kinda feel like the guy from Assassins creed when I put up my hood. Really very badass. Technical aspects: Folds up into its own pocket (which has a headphone port), and it's super light weight, but stops a fair bit of wind, and sheds light to medium rain for a short period of time. And again, looks good. Don't have to much of a chance to wear it in cool weather, since I live in Singapore (32c all year round), but I do wear it into the freezing cinemas and it keeps me warm.
